My "conspiracy" theory about Covid-19 escaping from the lab in Wuhan appears to be gaining traction...

Thanks to UtahBob for the link!

China deliberately suppressed or destroyed evidence of the coronavirus outbreak in an “assault on international transparency’’ that cost tens of thousands of lives, according to a dossier prepared by concerned Western governments on the COVID-19 contagion.

The 15-page research document, obtained by The Saturday Telegraph, lays the foundation for the case of negligence being mounted against China.

It states that to the “endangerment of other countries” the Chinese government covered-up news of the virus by silencing or “disappearing” doctors who spoke out, destroying evidence of it in laboratories and refusing to provide live samples to international scientists who were working on a vaccine.

Here. 

Interesting isn't it.  Ideas are always fringe before they're accepted as common wisdom. 

I remember some of the comments made by the detractors when this thing first blew up and I was ringing the alarm bells (this while it was still in China)..posted over at Moon Of Alabama back in January when they were saying this was no big deal...

Solomon over at SNAFU has gone into complete hysteria over this. He is doing the impossible of making the MSM look sane.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 SNAFU's solomon is anti china racist who took in all sinophobic propaganda and accept them as fact , because he wallow in every kind of news that show chinese despair.
The fact that he is an african american and at the same time hold the right wing racist ideology suggest a confused man inside.
anything that negative to china as a nation and to chinese people will be put on display on SNAFU with no thinking allowed.
remember SNAFU's commenter site are full of astroturfers and hasbaras from all over the world.

Yeah.

Well it appears that I have been ahead of the curve on this thing so forgive me for taking a victory lap.

What's worse isn't the disease (as bad as it is) but the cure.  Our economy is gonna take such a vicious hit that more will die from the consequences of the shutdown than from the virus.

But back on track.

China has a day of reckoning coming (worldwide) from this thing.  We're all gonna be setback economically because of this thing but China will take an especially hard hit.

Everyone now knows what I knew all along. 

China isn't to be trusted.

They aren't to be depended on.  They're communist with a goal and fair play ain't part of it.  Industry (vital industry) will be forced back home.  Trade will take a hit.  Tensions will increase (even with the usually passive European Union) and the road ahead for them will get bumpy.

For all the pain that's coming I couldn't be happier about their plight.
